These looked and sounded amazing to me: a hard shell of raspberry flavored gummy around a soft raspberry jelly.  They didn’t quite live up to the description, to me - too sweet, too sticky, and not as gooey as I was imaging inside (instead it has a thick gelatiny consistency.)  Still, I enjoyed eating these traditional candies from Ghent, a small city between Bruges and Brussels in Belgium.  Also, their popularity with real Belgium citizens is obvious - street carts full of these purple gumdrops were a common sight on a weekend afternoon.

I sent this to a few people who sponsored me, so if they have any comments, chime in!
